《The Gathering (Sky: Children of the Light)》~Chapter Five~
Advertisement
The next day at the gathering started out the same as the day before, with the children meeting on their tarps. Sunny had met her group earlier, but the spirit from the day before told her she could join Eclipse and Zaira's group. They all ate breakfast on the tarp, and a boy called Rayem showed them some tricks that his pet Dark Dragon Ao could do. That day's gathering was in the Valley of Triumph, and they were doing various physical assessments like flying, swimming, and skating. Surprisingly, the Valley Elders supervised the session. There were a couple of other spirits, but not a lot. The cold winds whipped through Sunny's hair as she listened to the Elders.
"The first test will be skating," One of them said, pointing down the slope, "There are three paths, choose the one most appealing-"
"Now GO!" The other Elder interrupted gleefully.
Sunny jumped and launched herself down the left path, the wind rushing past her. She shot off the end of the path and landed with a clink on a wide ice rink. It had an island in the center with a couple of snow-coated benches, and holes in the ice full of water. The rest of the Sky Children hurtled down the path, causing the snow to fly up in drifts when they landed. Sunny met up with Rayem, Zaira, and Eclipse on the rim of one mysterious hole in the ice.
"Everyone, the next test is swimming! We will be assessing how long you can stay in the water! Good luck!" One of the Elders announced, having seeming
Eclipse shrugged and jumped with a splash into the hole, spraying everyone with a film of ice-cold water.
"MY CAPE!" Zaira shrieked. Rayem snickered and Sunny smacked him.

"She really likes her cape," Eclipse said, bobbing up from the hole, "And I totally knew that. Now get in here, this is an assessment you know."
Rayem grimaced "I.. can't swim very well," he said.
"Well, it's required!" Eclipse grabbed his hand and yanked him into the water, "And swimming is instinctive," she smirked.
Rayem shrieked at the cold water "HOW CAN WATER EXIST AS WATER WHEN IT'S THIS COLD," He started treading water, his cape holding him up.
"She told you it was instinctive." Zaira drawled, sitting on the rim of the gap. Rayem glared at her, his hair dripping. Sunny snickered and earned a splash from Rayem
"WHY MUST I BE TAUNTED, I CAN SET AO ON YOU, YOU KNOW. SHE BITES VERY HARD."
"Suuuuure" Sunny snorted. Rayem glared again.
✵
After the gathering ended, Eclipse invited Rayem to see their tent circle. He had never seen a manta before and was obsessed with riding them. Eclipse, of course, got REALLY mad at him, and he got another lecture on "Would you ride other Sky children?" He answered yes and Sunny thwacked him with her piano.
"Is your solution to everything whacking people with your piano?" Rayem had said.
"No, but most situations." Sunny had replied, dusting her piano off. The manta had taken it's chance and flown away, much to Rayem's disappointment.

Cosmic Bulldozing Team
"Welcome to the Cosmic Bulldozing Team! CBT for short... references to any other acronyms are purely coincidental." Breve has one exceptional gift: an inborn potential for Resurrection magic. The cost? Every other healing spell she casts is absolutely paltry in comparison to the rest of her race, making her family outcasts within her society. That potential alone, however, classes Breve as a Rank A Healer. By what metric? Well, by the crazy elf lady who’s about to destroy her planet. Wait, what? Here's the low-down: her planet has been targeted by the Cosmic Bulldozing Team, which, as their name suggests, operates in the apparently lucrative business of destroying planets. This comes with the unfortunate side-effect of also murdering everyone who lives there. And Breve would’ve been killed, too, if she hasn’t unintentionally passed their audition for a new healer. Unwillingly saved by the people who just annihilated everything Breve ever knew and loved, she’s dragged into a massive spaceship before, without a moment’s reprieve, being assigned missions to sally forth and commit the same atrocities on other planets. And with Breve's home lying in a pile of celestial bedrock, it seems that cooperating is the only option. And she will cooperate, or so help her, they'll send her back whence she came: into the void of space, where the smashed rubble of her planet now drifts along. "Buckle in, rookie: you've got some planetary destruction ahead of you." (Updates every 2 days.)
